More flats<br />

The housing stock of the municipal societies is to grow,<br />

through purchase <strong>and</strong> new construction: from 277,000 dwellings<br />

at present to 300,000 in 2016. A larger proportion of<br />

publicly owned dwellings will help to stabilise the rent market.<br />

In future, plots of l<strong>and</strong> belonging to the State of Berlin will be<br />

allocated directly to the municipal housing societies, provided<br />

this leads to expedient building plot realignments suitable<br />

for new construction in fulfilment of the goals of the Rent<br />

Alliance.<br />

In a pilot project, the State of Berlin will provide 14 plots upon<br />

which the municipal housing societies may carry out exemplary<br />

development projects. Through the following requirements,<br />

care will be taken to ensure that each of these projects<br />

leads to the creation of a neighbourhood that fits into its surrounding<br />

residential area in a socially appropriate manner:<br />

• rent spreads,<br />

• proportional allocation of flats to households with a certificate<br />

of eligibility to public housing (“Wohnberechtigungsschein”),<br />

• a contingent of small flats for single-person households,<br />

• a contingent of barrier-free flats, <strong>and</strong><br />

• flats for families with children.
